Textbox problem

[enfekted]

I have a textbox that I wanted to use to list errors. However I can't dynamically add newline characters to make each error appear on a new line.

Here's the code I'm using to add the errors to the textbox

public string[] Errors
{
	get
	{
		return errors;
	}
	set
	{
		errors = value;
		
		errorLabel.Text = "";
		foreach ( string error in value )
		{
			if ( errorLabel.Text.Length > 0 ) errorLabel.Text += "\n";
			errorLabel.Text += string.Format( "● {0}", error );
		}
		
		errorLabel.Invalidate();
	}
}

And here's what it looks like:


AcceptReturn is set to 'true', but that only seems to affect User input rather than being able to programatically add newlines. Seems kinda odd.

Anyone have any ideas?

The windows escape sequence is "\r\n", mabye that's it?

Yep, that did it. Thanks LiquidShadows.

Just an example. Try using the textbox's lines property.

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string lstrtest = "this is a test \nthis is line 2 \nand this is line 3";
textBox1.Lines = lstrtest.Split('\n');
}

You must use Environtment.NewLine, don't use \n or \r...
